Rewatching this excellent British detective series. Brilliant stuff but - disappointed that not a single episode ends with an apprehended villain turning to the camera, twirling a moustache and saying "Curses! Foyled again!"

I like a lot of her work but you have to be in the mood - she can be a bit dark. The autobio trilogy is a fascinating read. When we were in NZ in 2019 we visited her family home in Oamaru.

Tickets to Tronics gigs, 1970s. Ronnie Scott's added a 'K' to the spelling. When we were still the Gits we apparently played a benefit for Friends Of The Earth. That doesn't sound very punk. I think the Rock Garden gig was recorded.

Strange women lying around in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

I love drums. The crack of a well-tuned snare, the sizzle of a ride cymbal and the clang of a crash, the hiss of a hi-hat, the warm woody thud of a roll around the toms and the deep thud of a bass drum working in time with a bass guitar.

It's a cold, wet and windy night here in leafy Boronia. Best to stay inside, where it's warm.

Yes, it was a tough time and we miss her every day.

She was just 17. It was heartbreaking.

People who play golf are golfers, people who play cricket are cricketers, people who play football are footballers - so why aren't people who play tennis called tennisers?

Evening's come and I am home
Returned from my toil
Give me food and give me drink
And rub me down with oil

(In order for this to scan properly, 'Returned' should be pronounced 'Return-ed'. Thank-you.)

The sign refers to our sponsorship - Jeans West gave us free clothes as long as we wore them to the gigs and hung the sign up somewhere. I've still got one of their jackets. Can only just get it on, mind, and can't do the buttons up.

My first band, 1971. Bringing country and pop to the pubs and halls of Wellington, the Hutt Valley and the Kapiti Coast. Spot the 15 year old drummer at the back! Anybody got a copy of our only record, "Moonshine"/"Mountain Dew", on the Sonic label? Would love to get a copy.

Almost all my favourite films are non-American. Anything by Hammer Studios plus various European classics from 'Stalker' to 'Aguirre'. But I'll pick this one.......

I thought Ustinov was good but wasn't keen on Finney or Branagh.

Mrs Vinylsol and I are rewatching "Poirot" which means we have our sweepstake going on - we bet on which minute of the show Captain Hastings will first say "Good Lord!"
